Top Sites Tuesday #151 – Two Thoughts On Tuesday
Posted by Trina on May 15th, 2012
So I'm sitting here, waiting to see Jacob for his third birthday tonight. I'm going to make a simple dinner, an apple cake, and maybe even watch a movie... probably something along the lines of Rio or Toy Story 3.
My first thought today is children songs. Jacob likes to sing and my "child song" vocabulary is a bit limited. I was stunned the other day, I was sitting around doing my paperwork when from the other room I heard Jacob singing. It's not unusual, but the song is what caught my attention.. imagine a three year old singing this:
It was so awesome! I loved it, we sang along to the parts he didn't know, teaching him more of the song. He laughed and sang louder. Then he sang a few other songs that he knows - true children songs - children jumping on the bed, something about a midget climbing a tree, Jesus loves the little children... Then I got asked the question. What children songs did I know that I could teach him? I broke out "The song that never ends" and the Barney classic " I love you, you love me" Needless to say, the kid didn't like them much. So we turned on MTV, flipped over to VH1, and then CMTV - nothing on MTV or VH1, but CMTV was playing Toby Keith's "Red Solo Cup" if you haven't heard it, you must have missed the party LOL I like the song cause it's so silly and fun, so I sang along.
A couple days later, his mother calls and want to know why he's singing "Red Solo Cup" that isn't a very good song for a child to be singing LOL Oops!
So I'm looking for the old Raffi in Concert video that his father used to love when he was a kid - I'm just not a fan of the new kids programs and music - it's mind blowingly awful. I suppose Raffi is more appropriate anyhow.
My second thought today:
I'm helping to clean the house. We're staying at Wolf's Middle son's house and they need help cleaning. I've done so many loads of laundry I lost count around 15. I've cleaned cupboards and closets, cabinets and shelves, toy chests and hauling trash. Young couples get so lost in their lives that they sometimes forget that life is easier when it's clean and organized. I have a few more closets to clean, stuff to eBay or take to good will, and then I'm on to dusting, scrubbing and floors.
I know, I'm a bit of a neat freak. But you can already see the difference that a little organization can make to get rid of stress ( and save money on buying things they already have that was lost in a closet) I'm thinking I should have taken before nd after pics.... this place could have been on an episode of hoarders.....
Well, off to clean - we start another job tomorrow with some of my most favorite customers in the world.
Hope every has a nice day, and I hope you enjoyed the music videos!
